Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Bolt grumbled to himself. He'd known going out that there would be a serious chance of trouble. Knowing it, and dealing with it were completely different matters. His countermeasures had worked this time, but he'd have to change his approach now. There was a decent chance he shouldn't head...
The remodeling done by the MTA had been quite thorough and expansive. It was probably related to the fact that they were able to use the entire mountain and a significant portion of the land around it. Near infinite resources or not, it wasn't common to have complete carte-blanche to remodel...
It was an impossible task on the face of it. Lilly had known that going into things. Her versus three hundred? Absolutely impossible to win at her current skill level. Her only chance of victory was her opponents deciding that the others weren't going to be victorious. The first day of the...
Bolt wasn't sure about the speed of things at the moment. The contest had started and the purchases had gone through. They were supplying the Empties with one hundred Shining Shrine Maidens configured with the appropriate iconography. Bolt now also had a new license for a very particular...
Lord Selah stared down at the report as if it would change from sheer displeasure. It refused to do so naturally. Data didn't change based on wishes. He wasn't one of those lords that preferred the pretty lies. It was still infuriating when reality went against his wishes.
How did he get...
All of the planning in the world didn't mean anything without Ghoul, or Dowry as they were calling her now up and running. That part was Bolt's job, and it needed to be done as soon as possible. Fortunately he had help and better tools now.
The remodeling they'd gotten from payment for the...
The return passed in a blur. They boarded the ship and were immediately on the way home. Jumping several times, through several hundred lightyears to home. Bolt was both anticipating things and dreading what was going to be needed. His mind was a wash in conflicting emotions, and he barely...
End of Arc 1

Victory was bittersweet. Bolt was glad they'd won. He now had a very nice chunk of change to his name. Enough to get everything for Ghoul, get something imported, and have enough for maybe another mech depending on the cost. He was also leaving, and likely going to land in...
Oh boy, I'm going to have to make this clear, but they're in seperate systems. Each nation is composed of over a hundred planets. The Mech Touch does scale decently on the scifi side in some areas.
The Junkyard stays independent because it's a nice mix of too annoying to get to but useful...
As the victor, Lilly got to do an exhibition match with an expert. It was supposedly a very large honor. By this point the girl was tired physically and emotionally and not particularly enthusiastic about it. She'd still put up a good fight, but she knew for a fact she wasn't going to win...
Lilly was mildly annoyed as she got into Vermillion. Mildly only. They'd sat there and dissected her baby on public TV! Ghoul was very far from perfect, but it was the very first mech Bolt had made for her. It had a special place in her heart! The only reason she wasn't actually mad was...
I keep accidentally adding the e to it. Getting mildly annoying when I see it happen.
Also, you don't need to worry about the guys reappearing. They will, though it might be a bit. They aren't going to just flat up disappear.
